Can Acupuncture treatments help with fertility?

There are so many things that we can do to make our bodies a better environment for conception. Individualized acupuncture treatments are designed to regulate hormones, decrease stress, and increase blood flow and circulation. Acupuncture has been proven to decrease the chances of miscarriages and improve uterine receptivity via immune modulation. Acupuncture is also helpful in decreasing the side effects of prescription medications that assist in reproductive procedures (IVF, FET, IUI). Additionally, many of the hormone fluctuations that create tearful mood swings and irritability can be better managed when getting regular acupuncture treatments.

We will talk about at-home tips and tricks that can create a healthier you and a healthier home for your baby! These things can be easily incorporated into busy everyday lives!
